What is No-SQL SQL = Structured NoSQL = Messy - No Tables , No Joins - No Traditional Queries - Less ACID-ity + Fault Tolerant + Distributed + Highly available - RQL + key value stores + Document store + Graph database

Introduction to MongoDB Basics C++ Language Drivers Cloud Web development Platform Documents Collections Based on documents Flexible Schema Documents with Variable Fields Any field for Any Data type Capped Collections Data Format : BSON Faster than JSON ? * Flexible schema = document fields in same collection can hold different TYPE of data.

Data Modeling Considerations Data growth & change over time Queries Normalization / de-normalization Indexes Data representation in BSON

MongoDB Document _id, which must hold a unique value. name that holds another document. This sub-document contains the fields first and last, which both hold strings. birth and death that both have date types. contribs that holds an array of strings. awards that holds an array of documents.

Why MongoDB Data vs Relations Highly optimized for retrieval / appending operations Statistical or real-time analysis of growing lists of elements such as Social Media sources
